You can create junior orders in a number of different ways, including:
Launching from:
A junior order is identical to a regular sales order, and can have a myriad of order statuses. Lot items can be only direct shipments or bids. You can change the order status, as needed. The heading of a junior order always indicates the master job bid to which it is attached.
The Job Bid Tracking screen gives you a complete view of the status of the master job bid. From here, it is easy to tell how much product has been ordered and how much has shipped, so you can use it to create a junior order. You just enter the quantities of the products to order and press the hot key to launch it.
When you create a master job bid, you can launch junior orders from it. You can add selected products to the junior order, or all of them. The system creates a separate junior order for each lot item, and one junior order for all selected stock products. Order level comments are included on all junior orders, in case they apply to all of them. You can delete the comment when it does not apply.
If all of a customer's orders are part of a master job bid project, you can set up the master job bid number in the customer's maintenance record. If you do this, each time you enter a sales order for that customer, the system attaches it to the master job bid.
Creating a junior order that includes a lot item is similar to launching a junior order from the Job Bid Tracking screen, but with these differences:
When prompted to select a product type, you specify Lot Products. This shows all of the lot items on the master job bid.
You use a quantity of 1 (one) for lot items, because the system considers the lot item a single product. It is only a placeholder and does not reflect the true quantities of its materials.
You change lot item material quantities from the Lot Job Bid Tracking screen instead of the Job Bid Tracking screen.
You can create only one junior order for a lot item. However, that order can contain multiple shipment generations.
Only the Costs and Prices views are available on the Job Bid Tracking screen, because the other views are not applicable.
